Well, this is my room.” She fidgeted with her keycard as he came up beside her.\u003cbr\u003e “Mine’s just down the hall.” Taggart pointed behind him, but he just stood there, his tall frame close to her. She looked up at him, overly aware of the scent of sandalwood, one of her favorites. Very masculine.\u003cbr\u003e “Mmm...coincidence,” she said, the hallway becoming smaller by the minute when he flashed that boyish smile, with one corner of his mouth raised. Cocky, but undeniably sexy at the same time. \u003cbr\u003eUnable to break the gaze, she tried to insert the keycard into the lock, not paying attention to what she was doing. The card grazed the slot and she forced her eyes away from his. \u003cbr\u003e “I guess you didn’t find your friends after all?” he inquired, leaning casually against the wall, as she slid the keycard all the way in the lock.\u003cbr\u003eCaught red handed at her own lie, she smiled down at her shoes. “No, I didn’t.”\u003cbr\u003e“So you can have that drink with me after all,” he stated flatly, placing his hand over hers as she held the key in the lock.\u003cbr\u003eHer heart pounded in her chest. She couldn’t move a muscle. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she said.\u003cbr\u003eHe frowned but left his hand on hers. “Because?”\u003cbr\u003eBecause? Her mind raced. She couldn’t tell him it was because she was afraid. Afraid how her body trembled when he was near, how her cheeks burned and her sex thrummed.\u003cbr\u003e “I’ll wait,” he said with a devilish grin eyeing the keycard still in the lock.\u003cbr\u003e “I really don’t think it’s a good idea, is all.”\u003cbr\u003e “You already said that,” he said straight faced, but she could see the playful look in his eyes. As he removed his hand, he continued to lean easily on the doorframe, his face close to hers as if he had all the time in the world to wait for her to be ready. He was close enough she could see the barely visible laugh lines when he smiled and the slight five o clock shadow on his chiseled jaw.\u003cbr\u003e “Look Taggart,” she said, just saying his name made her heart beat faster. “I’m not ready for…” her heart beat rapidly thinking about just what she wasn’t ready for what….to be intimate with a man.\u003cbr\u003e “Ready for what?” he teased. A flush of desire rushed through her. He was playing with her, flirting with her.\u003cbr\u003e She took her key out of the lock and looked up at him trying her best to hang on to some semblance of control. “Whatever it is, I’m not ready.”\u003cbr\u003e “Fair enough,” he said, completely unarming her with his understanding.\u003cbr\u003e “Really?” she asked, almost disappointed he gave in so easily.\u003cbr\u003e “Really,” he said, imitating her. \u003cbr\u003eHe was so fucking sexy she was going to melt right there in the hall. “Well in that case, maybe I’ll have that drink with you, but it better be a quick one, the girls will wonder where I am.”\u003cbr\u003e “Good","brand":"Red Sage Publishing, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170896298224,"sku":"2940148989776","price":5.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148989776_p0.jpg?v=1763710864","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148989776","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
